Chinese child suicide rates jumping ten percent annually since 2010

Reply in thread

That's not how this kind of thing works, and it depends on where it starts. If it's 1% of children attempting suicide, which would be a huge amount, a 10% increase is 1.1%, and then for the next year a 10% increase makes it 1.21%, and then 1.33%. This is why when something increases your risk of something by say, 50%, it might mean absolutely nothing if the initial odds are 1 in a billion. 1.5 in a billion isn't really any more likely.

Where do you get your gaming news?

Skill up has a weekly show about what's coming up, what's come out, and a bunch of indie games. He's on break for a month at the moment, but it's good content and has got me to buy a few good games.

Game linked is another channel from Linus Tech Tips that is focused on gaming and I have faith they do their research properly.

Gameranx is also quite good.

All of these are YouTube channels.
